It is inevitable that learning the jargon and basics of a new field will 
be demanding. Yes, you will benefit enormously from a (knowledgeable) 
guide.

May I suggest that you find a book (either from your local library or 
book-store, or on-line) and/or choose an on-line training course 
(edX.org, Coursera, etc).

Be aware that the generic term: "Python", now means "Python3", whereas 
in the past we used "Python2" (both numbers often followed by a 
decimal-point and further digits indicating a more precise version 
number). Thus, check that your chosen 'guide' is up-to-date!

You will be welcome to verify your choice with us, and to ask further 
questions 'here'...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Python!
